I’m starting my Schools Direct training in September and I’m starting to realise what I’ve let myself in for :grimacing:.

Moakes was just an amalgamation of Mike Oakes as we all used to just call him Mike and he’d feign annoyance with it :heart:

Classic Moakesy!

Oh man, just looked up an absolute school legend who was in the same year as my Granddad, taught my Dad, me and my little brother (and used the exact same pun on our surname on each of us) who died recently and it’s made me a bit sad:

Haha. Just looked up my teacher mate on there

‘Good teacher but needs to chill out’

‘Alright but very strict’

‘His name is the only thing I like about him’

:smiley:

Definitely showing him this next time I see him

This thread really shows how undervalued and unappreciated the teaching profession is. In no other job would calling people names and making them cry be a bit of a LOL. Disgusting behaviour.
Loads of parents on here too, hope you’re teaching your children not to be rude and disrespectful to others.

@anon82218317 don’t teach in England! Nightmare.

We got taught RE by the rev, he was also absent minded and possibly drunk. He showed us… actually can’t be bothered with that story.

Another French teacher was off on leave for ages, stress or something I imagine but the rumour was that he was in purdysburn (the local mental hospital) because he thought he was a chicken. Of course when he came back people would make chicken noises and go “bwooooooook-bwoooook”. Had him a French teacher a few years later and he was pretty decent really.

Think the humour of this thread is more derived from what idiots kids are than the actual things the kids are/were doing tbf

Insinuated for months Mrs Sanders was a relative of Colonel Sanders; uninventive and shit small-time trolling which really should never have gone anywhere, except for the fact she got fuming about it whenever it was brought up. So we upped the game by going into KFC and picking up a job lot of KFC sporks with a little 3D pic of the Colonel on the end of the handle, then leaving them all over classrooms for her to find, slipping them into any unattended bags/jackets she had, throwing them to the front of the class when she turned around to write on the board. Went mad every single time one showed up, so the place was overrun with sporks until she left at the end of the year.

Both my parents are retired teachers so I’ve just looked them up on ratemyteacher.

About my dad: “the best an funniest ever love the WHTEVA attitude cracks me up” also “Wickedd teacher!”

And my mum: “lol she is joke!”

Actually really made me smile to think pupils loved my parents. When people were mean to or about teachers at my school I used to worry that kids were being dicks to my parents too but this has properly warmed my cockles.

A teacher at our school was called Mrs Freak. That went about as well as you would expect.

Had an Aussie female geography teacher and I feel terrible about what a shit I was to her. Had a letter sent home actually and my Mum went ballistic. She was quite young and was dyslexic, and how she put up with smartarse kids at an all boys grammar school is beyond me. Would love to apologise. Constantly correcting her spelling mistakes, taking the piss out of her accent… :frowning:

She did the teachers 100m at sports day and I just remember a wall of braying adolescents laughing at her… GOD. Makes me shudder.
